  Hi. I had a press release scheduled to post at 8:05am this morning. It was imperative that this not be released to the public any earlier, but it went live at 1am this morning. How did this happen and how do we prevent it from happening again?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Scheduled posts are triggered for publication by the first visitor to your site after the scheduled date and time.

  Our blogs display posts in reverse chronological order, unless there is a timezone issue or a sticky posts issue.

  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  Edit the post, change the datestamp in the Publish module, and click Update.

  All Posts are found here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
  *replace “/NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of your blog

  You hover over the title of the post and click the Edit link, then edit the datestamp in the Publish module and click update.

  Note that you can examine these images so you see how to edit posts and change datestamps and timestamps where required.
